NEW REC AREA FOR STUDENTS
03 Aug 2016
The students of St Ursulas College are enjoying a stylish and functional new recreation area with custom outdoor furniture thanks to the work of Urban Fountains and Furniture.
Urban Fountains and Furniture (UrbanFF) were approached by designer Jill Owen-Catt from Bold Architecture to assist with the design and manufacture of custom seating and picnic tables for St Ursulas College in Yeppoon.
Jill had worked with UrbanFF on previous projects and knew that they would be the best company to offer realistic design and fabrication input, while still respecting her original design concepts and vision for the project.
The design brief was for a very strong and durable, yet stylish suite of picnic tables and chairs with a minimalist footing design. Seating was required on all four sides of the tables and needed to be mounted in-ground on single strut legs. Special consideration was given to construction of the designs, so that dismantling made shipping and installation easy.
UrbanFF worked closely with Jill offering up to four different table/seating styles that met the brief. After close consultation between the client, architect and UrbanFF, with some minor design tweaks required here and there to ensure that the client received exactly what they wanted, the final design was realised.
The table frame and seating were manufactured from robust rectangular hollow steel (RHS), and high quality Pacific Jarrah was chosen for the hardwood component. All frame work was hot dipped galvanised and the timber was treated with high quality penetrative oil.
The result is a stunning stylish minimalist picnic table and seating combination that is low maintenance, functional and very durable, ensuring they will be enjoyed by the students for many years to come.
